Sweet Lucy- you were our baby when we couldn't make our own, you were our protector against all who dared to walk down our street, you were my cuddle buddy and bathroom buddy throughout my morning sickness, you were a comforter and companion. We love you and will miss you dearly.
After a couple of weeks of trying to treat with antibiotics, she was only getting worse. We were hoping the huge lump/mass on her neck was just an abscess but her cultures came back negative for bacteria. So our worst fears were confirmed: CANCER.
She wasn't moving more than she was made to, she wasn't eating, and was getting to the point she could barely breath. Tyler couldn't get her to take her meds, including the pain meds, so we made the heartbreaking decision to put her to sleep. Our personal vet was able to come to our house and do it. It was nice to be in our normal environment and to be able to grieve in private. She was buried in our back yard next to Priscilla and Hunter. The sweet construction crew, installing water pipes, were nice to bring a small tractor into our back yard and dig a hole big enough for our 95 pound sweet girl. I just need to get a headstone to make her grave compete.
